Film

The documentary film Nippon no Uso (Japan Lies—The Photojournalism of Kikujiro Fukushima, Age 90) provides insight into the life of Fukushima. Based on Fukushima’s 250,000 photos and his own experiences, the film shows the little-known side of Japan’s postwar path. Directed by Saburo Hasegawa and produced by Documentary Japan, the film was released on August 4, 2012 in Tokyo.[2][3][4]

Death

He died after a stroke on September 24, 2015.[5]

gollark: Apparently the US was worried about GPS being used by enemy ICBMs (???) so now consumer GPS devices will refuse to work above certain speeds/heights.
gollark: You can do GPS with RTL-SDRs apparently, which gets around the weird height/speed restrictions in consumer devices.
